pursue other studies Among his Ignorant
neighbors, some Of whom were Jealous that
their own children were not among the NUM-
Der, this caused unpleasant gossip, and Mrs.
Severn and her husband induced Ruskin to
forbid the children the house. This made
Ruskin very angry at Mrs Severn he I'M
mediately sat down and wrote letters all over
the country denouncing Mrs. Severn in the
strongest terms Fortunately he left the
sealing OF the letters 70 his faithful valet,
Baxter, who saw that they were never posted
Baxter never leaves him, and, it is said, is
not in the least Influenced by the fact that
his master discharges him at least once day.
Mr.. Ruskin went to live at the little coun-
try inn, and then to the cottage OF former
servant, accompanied by Baxter, Of course.
He got possession Of bis check book, and gave
checks right and left, till he had overdrawn
his bank account. Then his maIady took an
other tfrn. All excitement disappeared, and,
i'll ply sically as well as mentally, he took to
his bed in melancholy and almost silly con-
dition. Then he grew better, but was soon
worse again, this time becoming more violent
than before. 1t was necessary to remove the
pictures from his bedroom, lest he destroy
them by his violence. Since then he has inn
proved somewhat, and left Brentwood a
fortnight ago, but whittier he has gone no
one at Coniston knows. Everything in the
house is put away carefully, ss though long
absence was contemplated. On leaving the
place the unhappy owner remarked that he
might ntVer see it again.

was SO successful at this itinerant business
that he decided to give up the ministry, for
which he had educated himself. and go into it,
With his brother he established an Office
on Nassau street, New York, started a
chronological journal, water cure journal
and an illustrated joural, and wrote
numerous books besides. Very soon his house
had a literature Of its own, peculiar to the
tastes and beliefs of its head. He became the
founder of practical phrenology in this
country. Previously few had read the
works of Gall, Spurzheim and Combe, as
theories on mental science, but still fewer un-
derstood them until expounded by Fowler.
The publishing house OF Fowler g. Wells is
sued nothing not productive Of good morals,
and in its long career it spent small fortunes
in the free distribution Of books.
The great interest which Mr.. Fowler's en-
thusiasm created in phrenology has about
died down, and many Of the younger
readers of these lines only know Of it incl
dentally. To them the annexed chart and ex-
PLANTATION will probably be of interest.

JOHN RUSKIN INSANE.
THE GREAT ENGLISH ART CRITIC,
PHILOSOPHER AND WalTLR.

His Splendid Intellect wreck-HIs
House In ConlSton-Peculiarities of His
SIalady--His Art Treasures-His Views
on Political Economy.
The great Ruskin is insane. The artist,
critic and philosopher that was, is now a men-
tai wreck, under the vigilant care Of nurses
for the mad. For some time a rumor has
been flying about London TO the effect that
John Ruskin's retirement from literary work
was due TO mental breakdown. And now
the rumor has crystallized into well known
fact The master Of English prose is now a
baby in intellect Hf"t
The life Of so eminent man is known to
almost everybody. He was born in London
in the year 1919 His father, Scotchman,
was q successful wine merchant, and left to
his son fortune of R7,OO0 q year. On the
death Of his mother this fortune was in
creased considerably. Thus from the begin
ming Of his career, he was able to gratlfy his
artistic and literary tastes without fear Of the
buebear of poverty. His parents were de-
voted to him. He has given an account Of
his childhood and their care in training him.
he records that his mother even went to Ok
ford and staid there during term time.
Ruskin is best known as an art critic, but
he Is also famous for his writings on political
economy, in which he excoriates the sordid,
money seeking tendencies of the age. He
has been called the head of a school Of self
denial, honest art and genuine culture.
Mr.. Ruskin was graduated in 1S42 at Ok
ford, having studied at Christ Church col
lege, and Immediately afterward devoted
himself to the study Of art, particularly
water color drawing.
